Preview Clip For New Release "Darkness Drips Forth" Issued By Hooded Menace

Finnish doom/death act Hooded Menace is back with a "four monstrous slabs of melodic, funereal devastation" on the new release "Darkness Drips Forth." A preview clip for the album can be heard in the player below. The album drops via Relapse Records on October 30th. Pre-orders can be made at this location.

Recorded and mixed by Chris Fielding (Electric Wizard, Primordial, etc), the band employs a new approach on their latest effort, expanding the writing across four mammothly dense tracks that nearly all exceed ten minutes a piece. Cavernous vocals preside over Lasse Pyykko's rocky riffs, while the band’s unshakable rhythmic core provides a grim backbone for the record. The hint of melody Hooded Menace sought back in their earliest days has fully blossomed into an essential element of the band’s music; "Darkness Drips Forth" is as melodic as it is devastating and as emotionally disquieting as it is thematically stirring. Funereal, deliberate, and unhurried, "Darkness Drips Forth" is sure to be an essential acquisition for fans of crushing doom and old-school death metal alike. Hooded Menace deliver a gruesomely glorious treat just in time for Halloween!
